We all have our own things we covet. A promotion, a latte, a word of praise from a specific individual. For me, it was Desert Isle Keeper status on All About Romance. After all, what higher praise could a writer crave than being *that* book, the book chosen above all others for tropical exile? Books [...]

There was a fabulous review of The Orchid Affair in the latest edition of the Historical Novels Review, saying all sorts of nice things about Orchid. Unfortunately, I don’t have a link to link to, but I had to share my favorite line from the review: “Will [Laura and Andre] fall in love? Was Bonaparte [...]

It may be Orchid season here on the Pink page, but Blood Lily is also in bloom. I’ll drop the annoying metaphor now, shall I?

The first review for The Orchid Affair is in– and it has a star! Library Journal awarded Orchid Affair a starred review, enthusing, “This supremely nerve-wracking, sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, can’t-sleep-until-everyone-is-safe read… successfully upholds the author’s tradition of providing charming three-dimensional characters, lively action, witty dialog, and a continuous contemporary story line that enhances the events happening in [...]

Giving The Secret History of the Pink Carnation five stars out of five, Night Owl Reviews characterizes Pink as “a boon to fans of the The Scarlet Pimpernal, Bridget Jones’ Diary, Jane Austen and James Bond by weaving the best of all of these together in one great series….
